REVIEW – Perdue: Popcorn Chicken from Costco (Frozen)

My boyfriend and I bought some of the frozen Perdue Popcorn Chicken from Costco to have as a snack every now and then. The instructions on the bag state the preferred cooking method is using a conventional oven or toaster oven, but we just used the microwave instructions. The microwave instructions don't state how many pieces to microwave for 3 - 3.5 minutes, so we just tried microwaving 8 pieces.

Although the breading was thick, it didn't turn out very crispy. It was kind of doughy and a little too thick for me. The chicken underneath the breading was OK, but it was a little dry, and the overall taste of the chicken was a little peppery.

It was fine as a quick snack, but I don't know if I'd get these again.

I bought these on sale at Costco for $8.99 and immediately went back to buy more. The only way to make these is to pan fry in oil, or a deep fryer if you have one! Sooooo good and crispy! It’s a shame the instructions only show microwave and oven methods.
